What Will Be The Lead Single off of Rather Ripped ?

dazedcola · 04.14.2006, 02:12 PM

Has there been any word or hearsay about which track is going to be the first single for the new album. Im thinking it might be "sleepin around". What do you all think ?

whorefrost · 04.14.2006, 04:12 PM

i'm thinking there won't be one on account of the last three didn't have any.. sonic youth are very much an "album band" these days...

Soundtrax · 04.14.2006, 04:55 PM

i bet on Incinerate, although my favorite song is rats

dazedcola · 04.14.2006, 05:02 PM

what are you talking about ?

"unmade bed" was the first single off sonic nurse

whorefrost · 04.14.2006, 05:04 PM

wtf? i never knew of any singles.. physically it was a single? or just for radio playlists? hmmm... mariah carey and the arthur doyle handcream came out on 7" before nurse...

dazedcola · 04.14.2006, 05:11 PM

well im not sure if it was an official single, but i do remember that song was leaked way before the full record was and it was the song they played pretty much everytime they went on a show to promote sonic nurse.

whorefrost · 04.14.2006, 05:22 PM

so it wasn't really a single then. ok

PAULYBEE2656 · 04.14.2006, 05:23 PM

as far as i know the last acual single release by sy was probably sunday. not counting the sweet emotion 7inch you understand....
dont care what the promo track will be, probably the first track! love the arrtwork tho

whorefrost · 04.14.2006, 05:24 PM

That was released before the record came out/before it was recorded/before they knew that song was gonna be on the next album. It was a limited release indie split single (500 copies initially, i believe) w/ Erase Errata and not promoted as "the new single from Sonic Nurse." It wasn't released as a cd single and distributed to radio stations etc... I even think it might be a different recording than the one on Sonic Nurse, although I never tried to compare the two. But yeah, the last real single takenn from a new record was Sunday.

Sound like ur spliting hairs. A single is a single is a single, whether its on a cd or not. Right?

Chris Lawrence · 04.14.2006, 09:16 PM

Not splitting hairs at all. "Mariah" was a track initially released on a split single, yes, but its inclusion on "Nurse" a year later doesn't retroactively make the single a promotional device for the new LP (and yeh, it's a different mix). I don't think there were even any promo CDs for "Unmade Bed" or "Empty Page" or whatever, the "Nevermind" single was never released (though there was a video), so yeah--"Sunday" is the last official Geffen single, regardless of the fact that it was a 'real' single w/ multiple b-sides and not just a one-track promo (the implication being that even the latter wasn't created for the past couple of records). Yeah.

silverfreepress (sdasher) · 04.14.2006, 09:27 PM

Promo, indie rarity, poodle. It is a single. A split single, released by a label. I agree that its not a single from a record, its a diferant animal but it is a 7inch single.

Chris Lawrence · 04.15.2006, 03:52 AM

nobody's debating that it's a single....the subject of the thread is 'lead singles from [LPs]'...

i suppose, following the chronology of this thread, their last actual single truly was 'mariah', but in terms of singles released for album promotion, 'sunday' seems to be the last.

cant argue with chris lawrence, he should know...

fuck singles anyway, i cant remember the last one i bought. and i dont count split singles as single releases....... splits are different, as are one track promos!

i do have the 12 wedding present hit parade 7 inch singles tho, proud of those!!!!

finding nobody · 04.15.2006, 08:24 AM

there was a video for peace attack. doesn't that make it a single?

was that from when they released a single every month for a year? quite a cool idea that. i've never really listened to them much but their old guitarist was a science teacher at my school a few years back!

kingcoffee · 04.15.2006, 09:02 AM

YR all geting way too involved with semantics. Besides, I think that the song they will promote first aka a single, will be Do You Believe in Rapture?

hebbel · 04.15.2006, 10:17 AM

should be "the neutral"...

whorefrost · 04.15.2006, 12:20 PM

i didn't realise it was a different mix, will have to break out the narnack 7" again... picked it up at an erase errata show in glasgow actually.. i remember when i heard it i was blown away... still am actually... nurse is very special..
